On Friday, the United States revealed its roster for the upcoming Winter Olympics. Initially, we knew that six players were confirmed for the team: Toronto’s Auston Matthews, Florida’s Matt Tkachuk, Ottawa’s Brady Tkachuk, Vegas center Jack Eichel, Bruins defender Charlie McAvoy, and Minnesota Wild defenseman Quinn Hughes. The rest of the mix was widely speculated and, to some, seemed to be set in stone. But Team USA’s general manager Bill Guerin and his inner circle still had some tough decis...
*We spent some time talking about it already, but in case you missed it in the midst of all of your holiday festivities (you’re better off if you did), the Flyers closed out 2025 on a definite low note in their loss to the Flames. [ BSH ]
*A little more angsting about that loss, for the gluttons for punishment. [ NBCSP ]
*We don’t want to spend too much time in the doom and gloom, especially just as the new year is starting. So let’s talk about something more positive! For example, h...
Philadelphia Flyers head coach Rick Tocchet has had a great deal of success in his first few months with the team. They’re in playoff contention and routinely take some of the top teams in the league to overtime. Trevor Zegras has flourished under Tocchet, averaging around a point per game. However, there is one glaring omission to Tocchet’s success so far – Matvei Michkov.
The second year winger has not replicated the success from his rookie season. His minutes are down, as is his produc...
*The Flyers were coming off of a big win over the Canucks on Tuesday night heading into last night’s final game of the calendar year. We’ll put a bow on that win before we pivot to last night’s game. [ PHLY ]
*We’re pivoting begrudgingly because that one was a loss and it was simply not a very good game for the Flyers. What a way to end the year. [ BSH ]
*It’s not all bad news around here though! We got some very good news yesterday as well, as it was announced that Travis Sanheim wi...
The Flyers had some chances, hit some posts and crossbars, and had a goal called back. But overall, the Flyers weren’t the better team on this night, losing 5-1 to Calgary to conclude the calendar year.

We’ve made it folks! 2025 is just about to come to a close, and the Flyers will be sending the year off in Calgary, and hoping that it can be on a high note, as they look to make it a sweep of this back-to-back in Western Canada.

Watching the Flyers can be A Lot and fortunately our writers here have time to fill in when the team isn’t playing with other interests. There were lots of great films and television shows in 2025 that were watched that we thought we could share with you all. What were some of your favorite watches of the year? Disagree with any of ours?

Switzerland vs. Germany
After two close losses against top teams in Sweden and team USA, Switzerland found themselves in a much more favorable match against Germany, who was playing their fourth game in five days. Taking full advantage of the opportunity, the Swiss dominated the opening frame, scoring twice and out-shooting the Germans 19-7.

The Philadelphia Flyers are off in Vancouver to face a Canucks team that got a little bit run over the last time these two teams collided just over a week ago. No major differences between the rosters or setup, but it is hockey so no one truly knows how this one will play out, despite the Flyers earning a decisive 5-2 win when the Canucks visited them.

The calendar year is almost over, the New Year’s Eve parties are being planned, and people are preparing to make 2026 the best year ever. Well, at least one can hope. And the Philadelphia Flyers are no different. So far, the Flyers have been one of the better (and surprising) stories of the 2025-26 season. Here then are five resolutions that Philadelphia could try to adhere to starting on January 1, particularly if they want to play more than 82 games this season.
Start scoring first

This past week, the Flyers have somehow played three games while also having a four-day holiday break. In that stretch, the Flyers went 2-1-0 against three of the worst teams in the Western Conference, with wins over Vancouver and Chicago and a regulation loss against Seattle.
The week started off on the right foot with a pretty dominant 5-2 win over the Canucks, where the new look fourth line of Nikita Grebenkin, Rodrigo Abols, and Carl Grundstrom combined for two goals. The next n...
Philadelphia Flyers head coach Rick Tocchet would come out and completely confirm it, but from the sounds of it Flyers defenseman Travis Sanheim will be on Team Canada’s roster for the upcoming Winter Olympics in Milano. The roster will be officially announced later this week, but, barring a major injury to the player, Tocchet all but guaranteed he’ll be on the club .
During a scrum on Monday in Vancouver, Tocchet was asked a series of questions about returning to Vancouver and facing the...
It’s been a heck of a calendar year for the Philadelphia Flyers. One that’s been filled with some acrimony, some controversy, and some hope. But through the last 12 months there have been a handful of things that have shaped how the Flyers started the second half of the 2024-25 season back in January. And how they are currently wrapping up the proverbial first half of the 2025-26 season in better position than many anticipated. Here then, in no particular order, are seven things which defined ...
*The Flyers are back in action tonight in Vancouver, and they’re looking to shake off the tough loss to the Kraken from Sunday. [ PHLY ]
*This loss was, all in all, a real missed opportunity for the Flyers. [ NBCSP ]
*Turns out there was a whole lot to talk about after a game where it kind of felt like not a lot happened? [ Inquirer ]

It was bound to happen. We were just waiting for this sort of game from Porter Martone to come by and make a whole lot of jaws drop with the sheer magnitude of ability he has on the ice while skating for Team Canada at the 2026 World Juniors.
It could’ve been against Latvia over the weekend but the central European nation stood strong against Canada for the second year in a row and managed to be a real hard out. It could’ve been against Czechia in the tournament opener but that is a large...

Sweden vs. Germany
Sweden is starting to look like the tournament favorites they were truly meant to be. In one of the first true blowouts by someone who most prospect analysts deemed as a favorite — sorry Czechia and Finland, you were in the second tier — the kids wearing the Tre Kroner walked up to the Germans and just absolutely rocked them, led by th...
If you remember last year , I debuted what is now my favorite ranking I have ever done (sorry, cheesesteaks). Videogames are my passion, therapy, and escape. They are interactive art. What a traditional artist can get out of going to Philadelphia Art Museum, I can get the same out of a three-hour session playing a videogame. I’ve continued both this tradition and yearly resolution in 2025 with an even loftier goal of completing 20 games (12 was my goal in 2024, though I wound up completing 22....

Sweden vs. Switzerland
The Swedes kicked off the tournament with a close win over the Slovaks, and while they surely came out of that game looking to pick up some more steam and show a little bit more dominance in their offense, this wasn’t quite a level they were able to reach in yesterday’s matchup with the Swiss.
They certainly got themselves off...

In what was one of the most boring games of the season, the Flyers snoozed their way to a sloppy 4-1 loss in Seattle on Sunday night. Messy neutral zone play and little offensive creativity abound, the Flyers couldn’t solve Phillip Grubauer in their first game out of the holiday break.

According to Elliotte Friedman, the Flyers and Christian Dvorak are in conversation about a new contract extension. After signing a one-year deal last summer, he’s eligible for an ex...
After a dependable 2024-45 season that saw him break the 10 goal mark for the fourth time in his career and form an effective partnership alongside Ryan Poehling on the Flyers’ fourth line, Garnet Hathaway had cemented himself as an everyday NHL regular.
Until a hit by Boko Imama last February forced him to miss 15 games last year, Hathaway had played in every single Flyers game since joining the team in the 2023 offseason, and it seemed as if his name was a formality in every John ...

Germany vs. Slovakia
The opening match saw two teams coming off of day one losses, but considering their competition, it could be argued that neither team got off to a bad start. Slovakia kept it close against Sweden right to the end, while Germany cut the USA lead to just one goal twice in the second period. Slovakia got a big boost coming into this gam...
The Philadelphia Flyers want to keep Christian Dvorak around and are willing to sign him to a fresh and new contract extension, according to the latest report.
Dvorak signed a one-year, $5.4-million contract with the Flyers on July 1 last summer as the team’s temporary fix at the center position as Philadelphia hoped to turn the corner from a not-so-good team looking at the draft lottery odds after every game, to one who was looking forward to the playoffs. And it has kind of worked out t...
Among the six Philadelphia Flyers prospects who are out there in Minnesota representing their respective countries at the 2026 IIHF World Junior Championship, there are young players who fans are much more hyped about than others. Porter Martone leading the charge as potentially a face of the franchise and captaining Team Canada to a potential gold medal, Jett Luchanko is one of the rare players to have already played in the NHL who are at this tournament, and our trusty American power winger ...
